He's been one of the bedrocks of guitar royalty since the 1960s. Trower was a member of legendary and hip atmospheric rock band Procol Harum from 1967 to 1972. Mention his solo career, and the classic album "Bridge of Sighs" springs to mind. He's still out there making waves, too, as his nomination in the 2011 British Blues Awards attests.

Opening will be Syracuse blues-rock standout band Mark Doyle and the Maniacs.

Veteran guitarist Doyle started this project in 2009 as a way to pay homage to one of his favorite waves of music -- the fiery British blues-rock style.

Doyle says he's thrilled to be matched up with Trower, mentioning the show right off the bat while we were talking about another subject altogether. (Look for Doyle's comments about the best advice he ever got from his dad, the late, great pianist Bobby Doyle, as part of The Post-Standard's Father's Day package.)
